Aren’t the pictures reversed? I read that drinking is up with the stay at home rules.

Reds and Whites are down since Covid, but still have stock of Sauternes. That's the beauty of Sauternes, they last for the long haul.

Re: Before Covid-19 & after
I was actually surprised that nobody touched the Grey Goose. Maybe the problem is that it was not open and for some reason folks don’t like to touch it.
Also, I did have a few bottles of Tito’s which went quickly (vodka tonics primarily). Vodka seems to be the most popular when folks come over.
My go-to liquor are Mezcal, scotch, sipping tequila, and Japanese whisky. But of course sometimes you feel like something different.

Re: Before Covid-19 & after
I listened to a segment on Fox Business News this morning and they were talking about alcohol consumption.
If you include the loss of sales due to restaurants being closed total alcohol sales are only up 2%.
I guess i'm doing better than I thought. None of you need to burst my bubble either.Synology 1019D+ - SGC Sonictransporter I9 w Roon/HQ Player- UltraRendu- PBD Stream IF to Playback Designs MPS5 via fiber optic - ARC 40th Anniversary Pre - ARC 610 T's - Martin Logan CLX's - 4 Martin Logan Depth i Subs - Shunyata Hydra, DIY PCOCC interconnects, speaker cables and power cords with Furutech terminations.

Re: Before Covid-19 & after
Good news on the vaccine front with Moderna joining Pfizer !
My money is on Pfizer though, after all they created Viagra. So if they can 'raise' the dead they should be able to protect the living ..........Cheers ! …. Dave

Re: Before Covid-19 & after
wife, kids and me all just got tested positive. nobody vaccinated.
all have the same symptoms....headache and some bodypain that goes away with painkillers.

Re: Before Covid-19 & after
Have friends vaccinated even with boosters that have contracted Omicron. The good news is that symptoms have been mild and only lasting a few days.

Re: Before Covid-19 & after
I used to keep the empty bottle of scotch and rye
Some were cute
i no longer keep them since I needed two garbage bags to not break the bags
As I finish each bottle out it goes.
i only drink at night to get to sleep maybe 3 or 4 shots but it adds up fast
i don’t know how but my blood is happy so far
I get blood work done a few times a year
I can’t blame Covid lol been this way for years.TUBEZATOR

Re: Before Covid-19 & after
Our home used to look like that. My wife and I both gave up ethanol about 4 years ago now and turned the wine cellar into a home gym. We're both happy with the decision. And I funded my upgrade in the Naim hierarchy with the profits from selling off the very nice wine collection.
I still have a bit of collectible whiskeys to sell off. Those prices keep going up and up so I have not done it yet. In the meantime they are stored in a friend's basement.Sources: Naim ND555/555PS | Roon Nucleus | Naim Soltstice Special Edition turntable and phono stage

Re: Before Covid-19 & after
I was drinking too much before covid, ramped it up more during covid (a handle of vodka a week), quit for good in October. Good riddance! Never liked the taste anyways. More money + time for audio & music. Feel so much better. I do have to note my well sober ears are a bit more picky and discerning

Re: Before Covid-19 & after
My immune system is working much worse than before. There are always small colds, before the covid there were no such things. Although I got through the Covid itself pretty easily.

Re: Before Covid-19 & after
Sorry to hear this. It is apparently becoming common in one of the control groups. It was expected there would only be one.
My wife and I had the Flu last November just when we started taking Z-Stack (RIP Dr Zelenko) and NAC. Other than Allergies and other man made things in the air, we have both been in perfect health since we shook the Flu. We did not get tested because it really didn't matter to be a statistic. I was tested 2 times in the spring of 2020 for surgeries but I tested negative because they wanted my money
I have run out of fingers and toes to count all the friends, family, and work mates that have recently come down with odd issues and diseases as well as 2 who died for no good reason and another that had open heart surgery. Several with Shingles, Kidney Failure, Diabetes out of nowhere and more. Odd that most of these issues can now be found as Known Side Effects in the documentation that Pfizer was just forced to release. Also, now that there are two control groups, the studies and facts are piling up all around the world.
My wife and I pray for our family, friends, and anyone now effected or to be effected, every day. There are ways to reverse the damage if you seek it.
In order to help stay healthy, we try to only drink two nights a week and it ranges from home made Lemon-cello or Orange, Whisky, Gin, Beer, Wine, Vodka.....something different all the time.
Cheers!-----------------
